Arsenal Thread | 2025/26

If that's true then good. Apart from Madueke the others are nailed on for the World Cup squad, why play some meaningless friendlies when they have the PL to go for. It's nothing other managers haven't done before.
Yeah nailed on for the squad, don't think Saka is nailed on to start though. I've seen a lot of this about other premier league managers doing the same but haven't seen any examples of this being backed up. If you can find me an example of any City players being withdrawn from the March internationals I'll hold my hands up.
 
Pep never does it, seems to think it does them good to be away & think about something else. Instead of forgetting about the league cup defeat & playing for your country it’s gone to worry about City again.

Fear of losing, fear of injuries I don’t think they enjoy this part of the season.
 
That's the ironic thing. Theres players still on international duty, White, Mosquera, Lewis-Skelly, Norgaard, Martinelli, Dowman, Havertz that would be more likely to start against Southampton than most of the main guys.
Maybe Lego head is so desperate to ensure that cheating Arsenal reach the semifinals that he intends to play his entire first XI.

Nathan Ake, Manuel Akanji, Ruben Dias, Matheus Nunes, Jack Grealish, Kyle Walker, and Kevin De Bruyne all pulled out of the November internationals last season. Walker, Ake, Akanji, De Bruyne, and Grealish all played the next game while Nunes appeared on the bench. Every team does it.

Didn't we have loads of genuine injuries in November last season though? These Arsenal players are just straight up shitting themselves.

You've hit the nail on the head. All the Arse squad have eaten some dodgy chicken (maybe from The Green Man) and they've all got the shits so pulled out of the international squads.
 
Do you mean fergiescum? If you are nailing yourself to his moral mast, then you are well and truly fucked
Pep and red nose tbh. Please tell me you aren't saying City have never done this and keeping a straight face at the same time!

BTW I've nothing against it. Rather the players get rest at the business end of the season.
 
Not a chance. There's fuck all wrong with any of them, as we'll see when they next turn out for the club. It's typical of Lego, "I'm a slimey, duplicitous,two-faced hypocrite, but when we pick up the Prem trophy no one will remember that."
Wrong, you ****! The whole footballing universe now sees you for what you are: a thoroughly unpleasant individual who will stoop to any means to win that one trophy. The name 'Arsenal' will forever be tainted by your deceitful, underhanded, dirty dealing. You are a managerial fraud, an imposter. An immature little man-child who couldn't go toe to toe with Pep and the others so you resorted to cheating, diving, getting your players to pretend injury and waste time. Your team plays the worst football I have ever witnessed since the Premier League began - and that includes Wimbledon, Stoke, Bolton and all the others. Their style was built on 75% hoofball, yours is 100%.

In years to come no one will speak of your club with adoration, or even respect. Quite the reverse: what you have done to that once proud club will go down in the annals of football as a crime against the sport.
They are nearer Revie’s win at all costs Leeds team of the Late 60’s and early 70’s -universally hated by all and sundry -as the song poured out from the Terraces nationwide during that era testifies
 
Keown on talksport just then; reckons they are all genuine injuries

LO

They are all suffering from PTSD after their humbling at Wembley last week
 
The truth will come out if and when their supposedly injured players don’t start at weekend, but are all fit for the champions league. I’m sure all clubs do it though where so much is at stake in a run in. I think the noise is loud more on this occasion though is cos it’s Arsenal. Nobody likes them. It’ll just add more to the fire of them being complete shit heads if they go on and win a major pot or three.
 
International football is nowhere near what it used to be. Don’t blame Arsenal for prioritising their own team. We have done the same before.
 
You do know it was FA doctors who sent them home right? They also sent a City player home if I'm not mistaken.
I’m not convinced. I heard from a weird looking Arsenal fan in an odd woolly hat that Saka had needed a full rectal examination. It appears that the result was that he was declared a complete arsehole.
Apparently he is still trying to get over O’Reilly running past him twice in one game to cause his arse to go. Fortunately Arsenal can rely on plenty of other arseholes they have available for selection..
